Project Runway Season Finale

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Mmmm.. still watching Lost. 40 more min till finale...

 

[thomsbrain]

yeah, the gf and roommates are really excited about this.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

I guess I'm the only idiot who watches...

 

[Gogeta4832]

not the only one who watches
wifey got me on it
but watched it and was somewhat dissappointed with the ending

 

[nageov3t]

yeah, I was a bit disappointed by the ending... really hates Jeff and wasn't all that impressed by the designs (outside of the "wow, there's no way I could do that myself" factor)

 

[BoomerD]

Watched it ...sort of...while we fixed and ate dinner...(My wife LOVES that stupid show)...VERY disappointed in who they picked for the winner...the winninng designs looked poorly finished, and didn't fit the models very well...not that I know squat about design, but I certainly can tell quality, and that didn't look any thing like it IMO.

 

[Gogeta4832]

what's worse is how they tell Uli that any woman would buy her clothes, even Heidi said she would buy it then tell her that she loses to him
my wife is furious - she recorded all the episodes and wasted precious hours hating Jeff (so did I though) *lol*

 

[badmouse]

I thought it was pretty lame also. Took a lot of the fun out of the show. Jeffrey's a creep. It was stupid that they tried to make him into a nice human with his kid and all. I just feel sorry for that poor kid with a horrible father like that.

When he won I just turned off the TV. Well, switched to the Mets - Cards game. It was just icky. I don't care about him at all.

Uli's getting her career off to a soaring start by being on the show. I could see why she didn't win, it's commercial, not creative. But she got what she came for, exposure and connections. The $$ would've been nice, but she'll do well.

I hated Laura in the beginning, but got to where I could tolerate her. I thought she should've won, personally, nice stuff.

Michael tried, and didn't hit the bullseye. But I still think he's the best guy there, by far.

Nina hit Laura right on the head. She can make WONDERFUL clothes, but is simply not an "innovator" and that is what a designer has to be.

Michael... man so much potential. Just too ghetto-fabulous I think for Bryant Park and Elle. He's got talent and he definately knows he's got something to work on.

Uli - rock solid and no question SUPER talented and beyond a nice person. Certainly limited though in her range I'd say. She has the "Uli style" that is all her own. No question she, along with all the other finalists both this season and past) will have a solid career and countless offers.

Jeffrey - love em or hate em he is talented and can do a WIDE range of clothes. You can't argue that. He did eerything from crappy punk-rock and roll clothes to beautiful dresses (the blue dress earl in the season... the trashe dess? Common the guy has talent). As far as him being a jerk, its all in how its edited isn't it? Just like they tried to make him a soft nice guy with his kid as you guys pointed out, do you not think that he was made out to be mean and evil through the course of the show by the production staff?

You simply can NOT take "personality" into account on shows like this as we all know it can be edited beyond belief to show one angle or another. Except Uli that chick was deep down "nice".

I honestly think the best man won. It was a toss up between Uli and Jeffrey, but I think Jefferey had the edge for his versatility and general "point of view" (man I hate when they through that around and now I just did). Uli will be perfctly fine. Michael will be perfectly fine and Luara too. Look at all the past competitors. Hell even Milan had a show at Bryant Park this year...

poorly finished? did you watch the show? They had a whole inquiry to his clothes as they were so PERFECTLY finished and fit so PERFECTLY well. They thought he had them outsorced

 

[BoomerD]

As the models walked down the runway at Bryant Park, his clothss LOOKED poorly finished. Particularly the edges of things. Just didn't LOOK like they were well finished. EVERYONE else's had nice finished edges, whereas Jeffy's looked a bot rough and "homemade"...
As for who had the best line...well, I'm certainly no fashion guru, but Uli's clothing was more pleasing to my eye...(as is she)...and I was surprised and disappointed that they gave the win to punk-boy.

 

[Megadeth]

First episode this season my fiance said I hate that Jeffrey guy, so that means he is going to end up being the one to win. I guess she called it.

jeffery is the only one who knew how to make couture...end of story he's the one with best process/finishing/quality.

 

[BillGates]

Jeffrey looks like a giraffe - I hate that frickin guy.

 

[Homerboy]

jeffery is the only one who knew how to make couture...end of story he's the one with best process/finishing/quality.

yeah I forgot to mention that. He nailed that challenge dead on and Couture is pretty much THE defacto in quality/finishing of a garment. Funny how that was failed to be mentioned (or edited out and not shown) when discussing his questionable 12 pieces.

What I generally don't get is why the other 3 still had stuff to do like sew little buttons on here and there (besides teh finale fitting with the models). I mean common. This is THE chance of yrou life. Wouldn't you work on it non-stop fromthe day you got home until the time you left again for NYC? Why should you have ANY loose threads (again besides fittings) to finish when you show up.

What I think is funny too is that even though Jeffrey couldn't use the shorts, he quickly qhipped up a nice skirt that would have fit perfectly. Then he was like "Oh yeah... I have these killer leather pants"... then he goes over budget by $200 and they try to make a big deal of it, and he just removes the (stupid) wigs and hes $400 UNDER budget then.

He rocked the show from start to end. He was protrayed as the villian thanks partly to craftful editing I'm sure, and he kicked ass regardless.

We'll still see Uli, Laura and Michael in the fashion world I'm sure.

...please note. I am not gay. I actually hate fasion in general (ask my wife when she tries to dress me) however I find PR by FAR the best reality show on TV. This is these peopels dreams from birth. And they do an amazing job at fighting for their dream to become a reality.... oh I also like Klum ESPECIALLY post baby boobs.... /homer droooooooooooool
